The "as long as it isn't a focal point" argument is a bit of a weird one, to my eyes. I mean, sure, obviously it's important to have non-straight protagonists who don't just stroll around talking about nothing but how not-straight they are, that'd be cartoonish, but I'm all for games in which...

I will concede that there's certainly a place for sexualized fantasy armour, and that I believe sexuality, like any other topic, is a perfectly reasonable thing to explore in games (even if it's rare to find those that treat the topic with maturity). That said, it is absurdly prevalent, as is...

It's been a while since I've really delved into the forums, and it genuinely didn't even occur to me that the last comic would be so controversial. I mean, yeah, obviously it'd rub some people up the wrong way, but I got a good laugh out of it and it remains a private favourite of mine, so I...

I'll be entirely honest, I'm more than slightly excited to see all the lovely London cosplayers up on the Escapist.

It's an interesting thing. It's not the gold standard for whether or not your movie is sexist, or some horrible harbinger of all your favourite movies being axed because they don't pass, it's just something to note, and the relevance and meaning of the test is different for different movies. In...

I tend to find it depends on the site. There are some websites where I've had great and informative discussions in the comments section, and others where any attempt to imitate that success is dead before it leaves the womb.

I tend to find that stylized art styles tend to age much better than games that strive for something more realistic. You can still pick up WW now and it looks stunning even without the HD makeover. Besides, varying visual styles are, to me at least, a hallmark of the entire series.

Bought it, finished it in a day, still thought it was good fun. It was initially developed as a standalone game with no relation to Layton, and that certainly shows (presumably the Layton name was later added for the sake of marketability). People are right in comparing it to Ace Attorney, since...

*sees article title* "Huh, that kind of sounds like the thing they had down at Uber Cool Stuff the other-OHMYGODITIS!" To my everlasting shame, I didn't actually give this a try myself, though I spent a good while watching other people play it, and it looked ridiculously fun. Would also...

The only thing making me hesitant is the first-person dungeon crawling stuff, because that crap can be tedious as hell. Other than that, more SMT is always a great thing. Although I do wish they'd keep making Devil Survivor instalments, since those are easily my favourite games in the series.

My BEST friend? Wow, difficult, I have so many to choose from. Let's see, there's . . . umm . . . that guy with the avatar that was from that thing . . . or that person who complimented me once . . . or . . . uhh. . . . . . oh, wait, I have no friends.

Read it last night, gave me a mild motivation boost, since I've spent a lot of time sat on my ass lately. ...of course, fast forward to the next day and I'm discussing an internet article for a comedy site on a gaming forum, so that productivity boost might have been a little short lived.

I wrote a deliberately terrible Doctor Who erotic fanfic starring one of my friends for her birthday, if that counts. But other than that, no, not really, except for a couple of Devil May Cry stories I wrote when I was young.

I'm not religious, I just go in for all the over-commercialization and the excuse to buy people gifts, so yes.

I'm inclined to say I prefer sex, since recently that's been increasing in frequency compared to my game playing, but if I had to choose one for the rest of my life, I'd probably go for games. They are a constant companion, can be played for extensive periods, and potentially offer much more...
